Peter d'Alroy Jones

4.9/5 (12185 ratings)

Description:Since Columbus is a provocative, original study of the history of the American continents since the first white, European incursions. It is also the first attempt to write an integrated history of all the nations of the Western Hemisphere as a whole, from Canada to Chile, and to differentiate and make comparisons among them. The author concentrates on four major themes within the narrative: the evolution in North, Central and South America of plural societies made up of varied racial and ethnic groups; the struggle against poverty and economic retardation and the building of welfare states, with sharply contrasting degrees of success; the painful construction of representative government and democratic traditions as against strong-man and military rule; and the ambiguous role within the Americas of the United States, the richest and most powerful plural democracy. The book begins with the European settlement and colonization in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The author then traces the emergence of the American identities in the late eighteenth century, the anti-colonial liberation movements, the containment of revolution in the nineteenth century and the varied evolution of the many independent republics thereafter. He emphasizes the social economic and cultural themes, the experiences of the Indians. Negroes and other minorities, the role of the Church, and the interactions of the republics of the Americas.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
